| Sumario: | In the colonial domains of the Hispanic Monarchy in the 18th century, miscegenation and illegitimacy represented an urgent matter for the authorities. In the context of the application in the Indies of the “Pragmatic Sanction to avoid the abuse of unequal marriages”, we will investigate oppositions faced up by couples with at least one Afro-descendant person. Based on the dissent motivated by racial reasons, we will examine the interpretations of inequality in Santa Fe city between the late 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Based on judicial and parish sources, the analysis of cases recovers the life stories of enslaved and free caste populations intending to analyze upward mobility and social whitening. |
